Last year I jumped on a salmon charter out of Ilwaco in between tuna trips. I witnessed every fish brought to the side of the boat netted and if it was unclipped the net would be inverted and shaken until either the leader broke or the hook ripped out ( which was the case on most of the fish). On inquiring about the practice I found out that it is perfectly legal for charters in that area. Dont know the rational behind this rule but I know I did not feel very comfortable watching the way these "wild" fish were being handled. I ended up keeping every fish I hooked out of netting range untill I could see if it was an unclipped fish. If it was, a little slack in the line was all it took to get it off. Selective fishery and NO NETTING of unclipped fish!
